Chapter 738 Victory without suspense
"Leader, do you want to suggest to Coach Li that Yao Min hurry up and return to China to participate in the training camp?"

While Liu Han was fighting hard for the Mavericks' first victory in the finals in Dallas, someone in the domestic basketball association wanted to put eye drops on the newly appointed head coach of the men's basketball team, Li Rui.

Li Rui's ability to become the new head coach of the men's basketball team mainly relied on the strong recommendation of the previous head coach Jiang. The old coach admired Li Rui's professionalism and understanding of modern basketball. In the middle of the year, Li Rui helped Director Jiang firmly control the position of head coach of the national team.

However, Li Rui's high position still dissatisfied some people in the Basketball Association. After all, Li Rui was an outsider in their eyes and was difficult to control.

"Why, Yao Min hasn't come back yet? Isn't he all over in the NBA? Why didn't he come back? Play the piano randomly, and send a notice to Yao Min to come back immediately. Those who come back from abroad are free and undisciplined. If Rui doesn't know, can't you take the initiative?"

Director Xing, who was the director of the basketball management center at the time, also wanted to show his authority in front of Li Rui. He felt that Li Rui was Chinese after all, so he should be more in control. Now the Basketball Association's management of Liu Han is almost ineffective. Director Xing was very dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to directly ask Liu Han to obey the management of the Basketball Association, so he could only hit some Liu Han from the side. Li Rui can be said to be a good target.

"Well, leader, I have already called Yao Min, but the manager there said that Yao Min still has some activities to attend in the United States, and Liu Han also said that Yao Min and Liu Han should go back together. We can’t handle this well.”

"If it's not easy to deal with it, why don't you just deal with it? It's understandable that Liu Han wants to flirt in the finals. Why didn't you let Yao Min come back? Call Liu Han directly and use tough words. Don't worry, the Basketball Association is in charge of this matter reason."

"Okay, leader, I'll deal with it right away."

Although the current management of the Basketball Association is more enlightened than before, it still has a bureaucratic style. Some people in the Basketball Association don't understand basketball at all and only think about their own positions. This actually made Li Rui take over as the head coach for a time. I was a little worried at the time, but later Liu Han gave Li Rui a reassurance. Liu Han said that he would let Li Rui take over the work with peace of mind, and someone else would take care of it.

Back in Dallas, the first half of the first game of the finals has been played. The Mavericks firmly controlled the situation on the field with their flexible tactics and good state. In the first half, they led the Pistons 57 to 40 by 17 point.

The Mavericks' scoring has dropped compared to their previous playoffs. After all, opponents always slow down the pace of the game.

Liu Han had already scored 19 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds in the first half. In addition, he had 4 steals. Liu Han completely shut down Billups, the "engine" of the Pistons today.

After the intermission, the two sides returned to the court, and the Pistons attacked first.

The Mavericks still continued their style of play in the first half, and the Pistons did not change at all. Larry Brown insisted on his own tactical thinking. He felt that the Mavericks could not always maintain the same feel in the first half. The Pistons can quickly tie the score.

After the start of the third quarter, the only change for the Pistons was that they became more active defensively. They still focused on team offense. Billups was completely locked up by Liu Han, and the Pistons could only let Rasheed Wallace Fortunately, "Roaring Tianzun" is very good at passing the ball, so the Pistons can bite the score and not be pulled away again.

"Oh my god, another steal, China Liu intercepts the Pistons pass to Billups again, the Mavericks hit back, oh my god, so fast, another four second play, Like lightning, I believe that many cameramen in the arena should have difficulty catching up with the Mavericks' pass in close-up, it was really too fast, and the Pistons had no time to return to defense."

Although Kenny Smith has not been a commentator for too long, he seems to have a lot of talent in this area, and he is not weaker than many star commentators at all in commentating games.

"This is Liu's fifth steal. If he continues to play like this today, he may hit a quadruple-double again. The last time the Lakers and the Bulls played in the finals of the 97-98 season, Liu had a quadruple-double. With this strength, the Pistons should be careful in the next game."

It was rare for Barkley to say a few words very seriously. After all, it was the commentary of the finals, and Barkley didn't dare to act too recklessly.

Although the Pistons did not have too many problems in offense and had a good shooting percentage, it is a pity that their defense has nothing to do with the Mavericks.

The Pistons are good at shrinking the defense to limit the space, but the Mavericks don't move inside at all. Even Nowitzki is cruising at the top of the arc. If the Pistons want to expand the defense, there is no way to limit Liu Han's breakthrough and attack. This puts the Pistons in a dilemma.

Larry Brown quickly called the team's first timeout in the second half. He was very stubborn, but he was not out of his mind, so he would still find a way to solve the difficulties.

However, the situation of the Pistons did not change after the timeout came back. The Mavericks still maintained a very good touch. With Liu Han, many people on the Mavericks had no pressure at all when they shot. The players of the Mavericks are no longer nervous, and their bodies and minds are devoted to the game. Their bodies that have been tempered in the past have naturally entered the habitual mode during the game.

With 4 minutes left in the third quarter, the Mavericks had widened the point difference to 23 points.

After that, the Mavericks began to adjust, replaced by substitute players, replaced Liu Han and other main players to rest.

The Pistons also made substitutions, but neither Billups nor Ben Wallace, who had suffered for most of the game, did not rest. Larry Brown still wanted to maintain his last hope.

The Mavericks' defense is really not good, but the Pistons' offense is also a big problem. When Rasheed Wallace is on the court, the Pistons' offense is always smoother, because Rasheed's presence makes the Pistons Make up for the shortest shortcoming, and when Rasheed is not on the court, the Pistons' offense can't work. They lack firepower to open the space. Inside Ben Wallace is a guy with almost no offensive ability, so The Mavericks can shrink the defense as much as they like.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons not only failed to recover the score, but instead allowed the Mavericks to widen the point difference to 25 points. The Pistons are gone.

In the end, when there were 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Larry Brown handed in his gun and surrendered. The Pistons suffered a disastrous defeat in their first away game. The huge score difference of 115 to 89 in the end was enough to illustrate the gap between the two teams in this game .
